Details of the patent application Ford made in the summer have emerged. There are many interesting articles in the patent, which focuses on measures against payment disruptions. Accordingly, the process, which starts with warning messages sent to customers who delay payments, will reach very different dimensions.
Ford takes action against customers who do not pay
The automaker is taking a very radical measure against problems with payment methods. According to the patent application, a warning message will first be sent to the vehicles or smartphones of users who delay payments. If this warning is not heeded, additional measures will be implemented.
The patented system will be able to cancel certain functions of the vehicles of the customers who do not pay attention to the incoming warnings. At a more advanced level, the vehicle will be completely locked. In cases where the vehicle is completely locked, customers will only be able to use their vehicles autonomously to go to the hospital or emergency points.
Coming from the future: Hyundai Elantra is facelifted!
Hyundai’s new make-up Elantra model appeared. The brand has quietly introduced the new 2023 Elantra in its homeland of South Korea.
In addition to these, the patent application also includes the ability to move autonomously to suitable areas for the vehicle to be retrieved. If the rules are not followed, autonomous vehicles bearing the Ford signature will be able to transport themselves to the relevant dealers or parking areas.
This measure patent also includes variable usage features according to different situations. Accordingly, vehicles will only be automatically locked on the weekend so that vehicle owners can make their delayed payments. In addition, the geographical destinations of the car can be limited.
In addition to these situations, Ford also has other options that disturb users. Accordingly, for users who do not heed the warnings, the radio and horns in the vehicles will be activated remotely, thereby creating awareness in a different way.
The new patent of the automobile company also reveals the future of autonomous vehicles in the future. So what do you think about the measures Ford has taken for payment disruptions? You can share your views with us in the comments section.
